Mtn Trails has an elf!

Oh Mtn Trails.....your elf is here! Elfie had some difficulty creating an alter but finally figured it out. Luckily I'm much better at shopping than I am at computer stuff. Already have some ideas so just need to start searching for the best deals!

I missed the deadline.....Was staying with my friend who lost her husband unexpectedly and did not have a computer.....! I have been a participant for the past 5 years and really enjoyed the Secret Santa! I am so sorry I missed the deadline! Julie

We knew we should have used reindeer but the post office sent it by meese. Or it's sitting in customs where some mountie is eating and drinking the contents.

Great that more elves are arriving. We hope everyone gets something nice this year. Especially us. Our gifts will come directly from Santa since we're only participating here to give, not to receive. Or maybe we'll use our owner's debit and credit cards to buy ourselves something nice, since we've finished shopping for Eleanor. And that way we don't have to fret about getting a lump of coal in our stockings as some BOs have suggested because we can be very bad ,

All the giftee announcement emails have now gone out. If you don't see yours, PM me right away and I'll PM your giftee's profile back.

NOTE TO EVERYONE!!! Please..... not everyone signs up for an alter to tease publically in this thread. Some elves prefer to imitate James Bond and be stealthy & secretive. So if you don't see an alter created for you or get a poetry filled email, don't despair or think you've been left out.

For those that do create alters, please keep all teasing posts within this main SS Thread.... creating individual threads to your giftee clogs the boards & then the mods will move your post here anyway.

GIGANTIC PUBLIC Kudos to my co-elf-in-charge, Freebird, who helped me with the Kringle Database this year. I had a very busy week at work and, without her assistance, don't think I could have gotten all the matching & announcing done by today.

<>< Sorrow Looks Back. Worry Looks Around. Faith Looks Up! -- Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Sorry to say your elf doesn't rhyme, but I will do my best to make this a fun SS experience for you. Could you tell me a little more about your riding interests? Do you show or pleasure ride? Do you or your horse need anything for riding, what is your mares name?

I am working on a few ideas so may have more questions to come. Feel free to PM a response!
